Carrie Collier , LPC

Carrie Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and issues related to parenting and intimacy. She works with people facing life changes, addiction concerns, attention challenges, and grief. Carrie draws on practical tools to help people cope day to day.

Carrie uses a collaborative, client-centered style. She treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on clear goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with real skills to try between meetings.

Her work blends several evidence-based approaches. Carrie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps. Attachment-based ideas guide work around relationships and feeling emotionally connected.

In the room she emphasizes skill building and small changes that add up. That can mean learning new ways to handle strong emotions, building routines to support mood, or practicing communication skills for relationships. She supports people through transitions like separation, grief, or recovery from substance use.

With eight years of experience as an LPC, Carrie aims to keep therapy practical and understandable. Her language is plain and direct so people can focus on what to try next. Sessions are offered in English and available through a mix of online formats.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters most, and take small steps toward those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing alternatives. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and many everyday stressors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior and can help with intimacy, trust, and relationship conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on your needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates or work through an exercise between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and changing circumstances.
